AoS = Romulus my father (novel)

Module A: Comparative Text Study = No idea

Module B: Critical Study of Text = Something Browning. I don't remember her name.

Module C: Representation and Text = Julius Caeser (shakespeare)

Pretty sure it's Elizabeth Barrett Browning.

 

[Continuum]

Argh, I'm lost. Can someone please explain exactly what is and what are the differences between an area of study and modules?

~UNIT FOUR - MODULE B "Close Study of Text"[/LEFT]
"The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time"
Mark Haddon (Prose fiction)

Curious incident of the dog in the night time...

I LOVE that book.

 

[bored of sc]

Area of Study is the concept(s) common to standard and advanced i.e. this year is the concept of 'belonging'. Modules differ in standard and advanced i.e. are different topics e.g. standard do close study of text while advanced do critical study of text.

Each course consists of:
- Area of Study: 40%
- Module A: 20%
- Module B: 20%
- Module C: 20%

Paper 1 is solely the area of study i.e. belonging --> same exam for advanced and standard.

Paper 2 is modules --> different exam for advanced and standard.

Im doin extension and advanced!! arr im finding the advanced course a little hard!! i cant find any material on the internet for belonging!! anyone got a good definition??

We are currently studying the Immigrant Chronicles by Peter Skrzynecki for the advanced course. any1 got any ideas on how belonging is illustrated through these texts? Especially in 'Feliks Skrzynecki' and 'St Patricks College'. I can only see the dis-belonging in these texts
haha
thanks

Module A: Frankenstein

I did Frankenstein in the WACE Syllabus this year, and it was really good study. The reading of it was complex, (I actually didn't finish) but it was really easy to write on.
